The Were CEO’s Secret

Chapter Seventy-Six – He knows.

A dim light illuminated the room. A small woman in round glasses stared at her laptop’s screen.

There was a clatter at her trash bin. Probably the rats again. Doctor Su went back to her research, adjusting her glasses.

Then a loud clatter at the trash bin. She left her seat, inching towards the window.

She opened the blinds and there was a hand, covered in blood on her window shield.

She shrieked and went back, reaching for her phone to call the police but then heard a voice.

“Doctor Su, it’s me, Johnson. Open the damn door!” There was a hard knock. She threw her phone down and ran to the door.

It was indeed Johnson, she helped him in and peeked at the mess he had made of her trash bin and sighed.

She checked around if anyone had followed him before closing the door.

The doctor scrutinized his wounds, this were animals claws and not of small animals, possibly from his kind.

“Mr. Johnson, I don’t know why you are here. Should I call an ambulance for…”

Johnson yanked at her arm. “Woman! Don’t make me hurt you, don’t you think I know the way to a hospital. I need you to treat me now!”

She frowned, going away to get her tool kit. She shouldn’t become an accomplice in a crime she knew nothing about.

She dressed his injuries but was stopped by him when she wanted to bandage it, he had said it would heal. She sighed.

“Can I ask what happened or are you just being reckless?” she went back to her laptop.

Johnson was sprawled on the ground, no shirt and his long locks covering his face. “I didn’t miscalculate. It was Nathan who barged in.”

The doctor looked up from her laptop. “Nathan, this supposedly were creature?”

Johnson shrugged, he tried standing up.

“We still don’t know what were creature he is. But he’s a really smart one. Even hid his hospital records.”

The doctor cocked her head. How was he able to hide his hospital records? “Um… it’s basically impossible for him to do that. He’s no doctor.”

Johnson chuckled. “And that’s why I say he’s smart. And of course, he had his doctor, Doctor Dan, do it. The man knew what creature he was.”

As he spoke, Doctor Su smirked, typing quickly on her keyboard. “Well, Nathan might be smart but Doctor Dan might not be very.”

Johnson was confused so leaned towards her to see her searches. She checked on the past searches of Doctor Dan.

Johnson wondered how she could got hold of the file but remembered she could make a hell of a detective and hacker, same time.

“A werefox?” Su pointed at her laptop screen.

Johnson grabbed the laptop and placed it on his laps. “What? Doctor Dan searched on Werefoxes years back? Could it be? No way!”

His eyes gleamed in excitement seeing the features and weaknesses of a werefox. All that fit the category of Nathan. Especially the blue eyes.

“Luciana killed all of these, didn’t she?” he smirked. But had she forgotten one and that one became her brother?

It would be very possible to assume that she doesn’t know a werefox lived under her roof.

Su was jolted when loud knocks landed on her door. She fidgeted, darting around for a bat.

Johnson stared at the door intently, till a smile came to his face. “Open up. It’s my lead warrior.”

Leo winced at the light that pierced into his eyes, as he walked into the room, even if the light was low.

He was pulled down immediately, by Johnson to be on the ground with him. “You survived? How did you find me?”

Leo massaged his temples. “I am your tracker and I know where you’d possibly be. I was knocked out hard, my head till hurt.”

It was a good lie but he wasn’t sure Johnson believed it as he stared at him for a while. Leo had tracked him using a tracker he implanted in his shoes. Johnson shouldn’t know that.

A laptop was shifted to him. He gazed at his Alpha and saw a confident smirk etched on his face. He knew he won’t like what was coming.

“Werefox?” his mouth fell after reading the article. “Alpha Luciana’s human brother is a werefox?” He acted surprised.

Actually, he and Jarma had suspicions on him not being human, but werefox was a far cry to what they thought.

“Yeah, nothing’s human about him. And to think wolfsbane is his weakness yet he used it against me?” Johnson scoffed. “I’d get him.”

He grinned, finally finding something to use against him. His sister’s mate was killed by his species, she won’t waste time in destroying him.

“Um, Alpha, after everything done today, I think you should rest, I’d go check if the warriors were able to get to the pack safely.”

Johnson stared at Leo as he spoke. He gave a half shrug. “Return here. I’d be needing you.”

Jarma gave a small bow before leaving. It took him less than twenty minutes to run to the Pure Silver Pack border and meet Jarma.

The information he had mustn’t waste anymore time. He sighted a shadow sneaking behind him, after he stopped. He rolled his eyes.

“Enough of your childish games. I have a game changing news.” He snapped his head at Jarma before he could scare.

Jarma frowned, but his lips turned upwards again. “Game changing news? That sounds fun. What? And your acting skills earlier were good.”

Leo sighed, running his hands through his sweaty hair. “We were right. Nathan isn’t human. He’s from a clan of Werefoxes Luciana killed fifteen years ago. And Johnson knows.”

Jarma had been nodding during the first part but the last parts kept him stiff. “Werefox? Wait, he survived that hunt and massacre?”

That had to be the greatest and scariest hunt for a creature. Not just by Luciana but by every other wolf pack that didn’t want to annoy her.

How had Nathan survived? He huffed. Perhaps the very same way he had survived being caught while living under Luciana’s nose.

He could feel the heat of her anger emanating from her when she’d realized. Nathan won’t be able to prevent her from killing him.

“Nathan isn’t safe. Johnson wants to use this to distract Luciana. No matter what, never let this information escape your lips.” Jarma warned.

His cousin nodded. “I thought it’d be game changing but when I think of it, yeah, it will surely be a distraction to Luciana now.”

The security of Pure silver pack were making their patrol around the place they were so Jarma dismissed Leo and went back.

He sneaked through the Luna’s home, knowing she wasn’t home but nearly screamed in fright on seeing a figure wearing purple and red.

He held his hands to his chest, seeing it was Nathan he had just spoken of. He had a blank stare, watching the trees dance to the wind.

“Our plan was successful. It’d take those elders two to three days to escape the sinking sand, if they escape.” He chuckled.

Nathan looked at him and only spared him a thin smile before looking back at the trees.

Jarma cleared his throat.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Your sister agreed to not kill the pack but only Johnson and whoever defies her. “I’m glad or she’d have repeated the fox clan massacre.”

He observed Nathan adjusting his weight uncomfortably on another leg. “I may have done the same thing.”

Nathan met his gaze. “I never knew why she killed that clan. I was very young when it happened but I never asked.”

Jarma smirked in disbelief but seeing Nathan’s worried and honest expression, he realized he didn’t actually know.
